Posted on Behalf of Rui Baptista
I'm writing concerning the possibility of using the Entrep-L mailing list of the Entrepreneurship Division of the Academy of Management to announce a new interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Technological Change and Entrepreneurship (www.icti.cmu.edu/tce/), developed jointly by Carnegie Mellon University, IST-Instituto Superior Tecnico and FCEE-Catholic University in Lisbon. We are seeking students who might have the interest, academic potential, and international perspective to excel in such doctoral program.
The deadline for applications for students beginning in September 2007 is June 1, 2007. The Ph.D. program is open to participants of all nationalities from a variety of disciplines, including engineering, science, economics and business.
This is an interdisciplinary program focused on technological change and entrepreneurship with a strong research focus, and a global perspective. Upon completion, participants will earn two degrees: one from Carnegie Mellon University, and, depending on their background and focus, one from either the Technical University of Lisbon (UTL) or the Catholic University of Portugal (UCP),. Students will spend year 1 in Lisbon and year 2 at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh and be jointly advised by professors on both sides of the Atlantic.
Below is a possible text for the announcement. Please feel free to contact me if you need further details.

CMU-Portugal Partnership - Carnegie Mellon brings vast experience in cross-disciplinary collaboration around the world and innovative approaches to technology issues. The program is part of a broad Government sponsored long-term partnership with several Portuguese universities with the goal of stimulating research and development activities and fostering scientific and technological skills at the highest levels.
Global Learning Environment Students will take courses and develop their research in both <st1:city w:st="on">Pittsburgh</st1:city> and in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lisbon</st1:place></st1:city> and establish research links with institutions and people from around the world. The language of instruction is English.
Student Support. Financial support is available to most students enrolled in the program who maintain good standing. Extensive resources are devoted to developing both world-class research and a unique multidisciplinary learning experience. Five students are expected to be admitted each year, in order that students can benefit from individual attention from faculty members from the outset of the program.
